The update manager informed that this package needs updating. The package has been downloaded to my system, and it repeatedly fails to install. It gives a message that openoffice is not running ! Actually no instance of OO is active. The exact error message is:

OpenOffice.org is running right now. A running OpenOffice.org makes extension (de-)registration
not possible and it causes problems with (de-)registering components.

Please close OpenOffice.org (including an eventually running Quickstarter).
